Negotiated a Confidential Settlement Agreement with an Unwilling Mortgage Broker (and Bank)

My attorney, Shikha Parikh, fought tireless on my behalf, over the period of several years, to prevent JP Morgan Chase Bank, the most notorious foreclosure instigator in the entire country, to negotiate a settlement agreement. Chase used every tactic and resource available to them over the course of... several years to force an unwanted foreclosure and liability, but Shikha was uncompromising, relentless, and most of all, knowledgeable and professional! She kept me informed throughout the process, was always available and responsive if I had questions, and her rates were very reasonable as well. I highly recommend Paradigm Law!

Hello, my name is Elvis Cruz and i can sincerly say that Shikha and her staff are some real professionals who know what they are doing, I just want to say that Shikha is truly an angel sent from above. Nobody wanted to help me resolve my case due to the fact that it was so complicated but her perfesi...onalism was so great that i was able to put my trust in her and her staff. Shihka gave me hope and now thanks to her a have a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. I would highly recomend Shikha to anyone who feels like there problem has no solution.

The best short sale lawyer who gets the job done

Shikha was great from the start and very experienced. The short sale of our Maryland house was in limbo and the bank kept giving us a hard time for over 2 years. Shikha reassured us regularly and gave us updates. Our previous short sale law firm in Maryland was slow and terribly inefficient. A couple... of other short sale law firms that we contacted before Paradigm Law gave us zero chances of success. When Shikha took over, she was very proactive and it was obvious that she's skilled with short sales and understands the process thoroughly to help homeowners with their situation. Within a few months, we closed the short sale of our house! We are thankful to Shikha for her role in completing the short sale and highly recommend her services to anyone who is undergoing a short sale.

Hire This Professional Team Now!

Initially worked directly with banks "loss mitigation" team. The lost mitigation team's job is to secure your home, not save it. They provided bad advice while losing documents throughout the process. Avoid doing this alone and Hire Paradigm Law. They stopped our near foreclosure; assisted wit...h our short sale, and kept the bank honest for once. The team is professionals, working to ensure your family is protected. I'd recommend the entire team to anyone. Do yourself a favor and invest the money in yourself--hire the Paradigm team. Really glad we did. Thanks Shikha, Julie, and Ann for everything!

Won my house back!!!

My story started out with four rounds of a short sale process, which left me drained and frustrated. I turned to Shikha and her team to assist me with my home. Initially, I contacted Shikha to pursue a case against the mortgage due to the negligence. I explained that I was recently divorced from a 15...-year marriage and filed bankruptcy during the process. I also shared that I desired to remain in my home with my 14-year-old daughter (the house she grew up in). Shortly after speaking with Shikha, she provided me with options that I never knew I had. She gave me hope that I could keep my home. Her team quickly contacted the mortgage company to start the modification process. After providing the bank with everything required, a roadblock happen! The mortgage company SOLD my loan in the MIDDLE of our modification review. Shikha quickly shifted the team’s energy to the new mortgage company and I was able to modify my home, which REDUCED my mortgage by hundreds of dollars! I am so grateful for her knowledge and services. Shikha is pleasant and swift! She does EXACTLY what she says she can do…and she gets it done!

Foreclosure lawyer | Jul 17

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"As a family lawyer, I have referred several divorcing clients to Shikha, who helped structure a ‘short sale’ of their homes for less than the mortgage balance, and thereby avoided their liability for the mortgage deficiency. Shikha conveys a cheerful confidence that puts clients at ease as she manages the arcane foreclosure process."
